That apparently is case in some times and places. But when I was renting a car at YVR in December 2022, their web site said they did not.

The last time I needed to rent a car, I seriously considered renting an EV. I find them more pleasant to drive, my usage could have been accomplished on a single charge, and Hertz doesn’t penalize you for returning a discharged EV like they

I’m in my mid-40s and am not an alcoholic. But I am quite shy. A drink or two in a social setting can absolutely help me open up and engage with others and enjoy myself. And having good social interactions improves my mental health. Of cou

Some electricians just assume you’re on a budget. There’s always some limiting factor, and there’s always some (possibly crazy expensive) way to resolve it and get a bit more power until you run into the next limiting factor.

I plumber I used to have do work for me told me a story about the first time he installed one: when he first turned it on, it blew a fuse at the substation a couple miles away. A few years later I got to know the person whose house it was

It seems plausible that not addressing the electrical anomaly described by nicolaslem could be called a failure to maintain the home under your policy. For completeness, the relevant section from my policy is "We will not pay for any l

It’s also that relatively few people are affected. That’s approximately one in 100,000 people, twice as many people in the United States were murdered in 2015. It is really easy to know nobody who died from asbestos.

My understanding is that there is not a very obvious dose response curve for mesothelioma. There are some people who had occupational exposure for their entire working life and don’t get it, while there are some people that had a small numb

At my local hospital, the MRI and CT are on the upper of two floors. They are heavy machines, but buildings can be built to support heavy machines.

My point is that electricians work in live panels all the time. (And the voltage of the circuit being installed does t matter. No matter what you install, the panel has 240V with approximately zero output impedance. I don’t know what advi

I know a few electricians, and none of them would agree with you. There's some things that can't be done safely on a live panel, but there are some things that can.

I disagree - the actual current switching electronics are off-the-shelf relays. It's more like "didn't use a GFCI or AFCI breaker where one is required, but did try to address the same safety hazard those breakers address, i

That refrain is common enough that I even ended up reading my homeowners policy, and I didn't find anything in there that excluded unpermitted work, even if I did the work myself, even if I failed to follow code. And if you think about

big.LITTLE is typically cores with the same architectural features, just different performance due to different microarchitecture. A7/A15/A17, or A53/A57/A72, or A55/A76. This let them run the same code, even the sa

In what way do they behave like ranges? I generally prefer to think of them as they are: able to represent a subset of the rationals, plus a couple other weird values, but not a field, and importantly, not obeying any of the usual algebraic

I agree that individual votes by and large don’t matter, but when public policy makes it harder for an entire class of people to vote, that does matter, especially when there’s a correlation between the class of people and policy preference
